This year, our Youth Services team brought a classic game to life with a scavenger hunt (寻宝游戏) program. This Scavenger Hunt: Level Up Your Reading event connects directly to our Summer Reading Program’s theme: Level Up! Our goal is to create an experience that is both fun and accessible. We design it to include opportunities for exploration and discovery. We created a self-paced, interactive program activity that encourages kids to navigate our library space and learn more about what we offer. It is available throughout the entire month of June, giving families enough time to join the fun on their own schedule. We offer two distinct levels to better serve a wide age range: Level 1 (Preschool-Grade 2) : Younger children search for amusing game characters in the Youth Services Department. This level uses colorful markers to stimulate curiosity without requiring reading skills. Characters are hidden near collections like Playaways and Binge Boxes, helping kids and caregivers discover new areas. Level 2 (Grades 3-6) : Older children participate in a more advanced version of the scavenger hunt. They not only. locate each character but also answer a challenge question at every stop. These questions help introduce them to different library collections like world languages, nonfiction, and graphic novels. This promotes deeper engagement and informal learning. The scavenger hunt helps families explore more of what the library has to offer. Kids and caregivers turn it into a shared experience filled with curiosity and conversation. 1 What is the main purpose of the scavenger hunt? A. To promote summer reading. B. To raise funds for the library. C. To emphasize service sense. D. To organize competitive games. 2. Which of the following best describes the library’s approach to the scavenger hunt? A. Competitive and challenging. B. Teacher-led and structured. C. Self-guided and family-friendly. D. Technology-driven and entertaining. 3. What distinguishes Level 2 from Level 1? A. The task of finding characters. B. The focus on formal learning. C. The involvement of caregivers. D. The demand for reading abilities. 【答案】1. A 2. C 3. D 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇应用文。主要介绍图书馆为连接小读者与馆藏、配合暑期阅读计划，推出分等级的寻宝游戏，说明其目标、内容及意义。 【1题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“This year, our Youth Services team brought a classic game to life with a scavenger hunt (寻宝游戏) program. This Scavenger Hunt: Level Up Your Reading event connects directly to our Summer Reading Program’s theme: Level Up! (今年，我们的青少年服务团队通过一个寻宝游戏项目让经典游戏“活”了起来。这个名为‘升级你的阅读’的寻宝活动直接关联到我们暑期阅读计划的主题：升级！)”以及第二段中的“Our goal is to create an experience that is both fun and accessible.(我们的目标是打造一种兼具趣味性与普适性的体验。)”可知，寻宝游戏直接与暑期阅读计划挂钩，其主要目的是推广暑期阅读。故选A项。 【2题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中的“We created a self-paced, interactive program activity that encourages kids to navigate our library space and learn more about what we offer. It is available throughout the entire month of June, giving families enough time to join the fun on their own schedule. (我们打造了一个自主节奏、互动性强的项目活动，鼓励孩子们探索图书馆空间，更多地了解我们提供的资源。该活动整个六月都可参与，让家庭有足够时间按自己的日程参与其中。)”以及最后一段中的“The scavenger hunt helps families explore more of what the library has to offer. Kids and caregivers turn it into a shared experience filled with curiosity and conversation. (寻宝游戏帮助家庭更多地探索图书馆的资源。孩子和看护者将其变成充满好奇与交流的共享体验。)”可知，该寻宝游戏是自主节奏（自我引导）且适合家庭参与的。故选C项。 【3题详解】 细节理解题。根据Level 1 (Preschool-Grade 2)部分中的“This level uses colorful markers to stimulate curiosity without requiring reading skills. (该等级使用彩色标记激发好奇心，无需阅读能力。)”以及Level 2 (Grades 3-6)部分中的“They not only locate each character but also answer a challenge question at every stop. (他们不仅要找到每个角色，还要在每个站点回答一个挑战问题。)”可知，Level 1无需阅读能力，而Level 2需要回答问题（隐含阅读需求），二者的区别在于对阅读能力的要求。故选D项。 B Turning thirty, a milestone that feels like the start for a career, the prime of a lion, and the peak for a dancer. Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. A few days ago, a colleague tried to comfort me by saying,“Thirty is what twenty used to be.” He made a thought-provoking (发人深省的) point. Am I still on the summit? People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). “You are not growing older, you are growing wiser,” says a wise old friend. This, however, is the kind of wisdom that makes one seek a different perspective. And so as I approach the day when I can no longer leap over the barriers with the same energy, I consider it necessary to share some thoughts on maturity with you. I am driven to express how maturity feels to me, both physically and mentally. Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. In fact, a philosopher considered it the most enlightening transition of all: Embrace maturity with me! The best is yet to be. Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.” 4. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heal s all wounds. D. Aging is a harsh reality. 5. What does the phrase “on the summit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being on one’s peak. B. Experiencing a decline. C. Reaching the top post. D. Facing a turning point. 6. What can we learn from the author’s reflection on maturity? A. Maturity is a contradictory but natural process. B. There is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. It is necessary to fight against maturity. D. It means forgetting about our past. 7. How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. 【答案】4. D 5. A 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【导语】这是一篇抒情性散文。作者即将迈入30岁，对这一年纪既期待又畏惧，分享对成熟的思考，认为变老是矛盾却自然的过程，对未来充满期待。 【4题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段“Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. (30 岁是我一直期待的数字，却也是我害怕接受的标签。30 岁本应是我老师的年纪，可现在它成了我的年纪，随之而来的还有这个年纪所象征的一切。)”可知，作者对30岁的到来既期待又畏惧，意识到曾经觉得遥远的“成熟年纪” 已然降临，暗含“变老已是残酷的现实”之意。故选D项。 【5题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第二段“People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). (人们总说最高点只是变了位置，可我总告诉他们，那面攀岩墙从我曾经轻松攀爬的10英尺，降到了如今看似不可逾越的8英尺。)”可知，上句中“on the summit”与本句中“the highest point(最高点)”表意呼应，指“处于人生巅峰状态”。故选A项。 【6题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. (变老是灵活与接纳的结合，是一个既需要对抗不可避免的现实，又要接纳随之而来的变化的过程。)”可知，作者认为成熟（变老）是既需要抗争又需要接纳的过程，存在矛盾性，但也是自然发生的过程，即“成熟是矛盾却自然的过程”。故选A项。 【7题详解】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段“The best is yet to be.(最好的尚未到来)”和最后一段“Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.”(无论他是否正确，我前三十年的大部分时间都是有启发性的，所以我会满足于未来的事情和过去的事情一样充实。我发现自己在走向未来的过程中，既充满了挑战，又拥抱了自己的成熟，希望诗人说的“青春总是落后于我们十五年”是对的。)”可知，作者认为未来仍有美好等待，对未来生活充满期待，觉得未来是有希望的。故选B项。 C In the small city of Kamikatsu, Japan, a remarkable experiment in sustainability is unfolding. Unlike most urban areas where waste casually ends in landfills or is burned in incinerators (焚化炉), this town of 1,500 residents has made an ambitious promise — to become a zero-waste community by 2025 — a goal they’ve nearly achieved through constant commitment. Based on the newly carried-out zero-waste policy, every household is expected to sort garbage into 45 categories, from waste paper and metal cans to worn-out socks and wooden chopsticks, each requiring careful separation before being delivered to the local recycling center. such precision ensures that even seemingly useless items, like tea leaves, find new life as compost (堆肥) for community gardens. The journey began in 2003 when Kamikatsu shut down its incinerator, a decision driven by growing concerns over air pollution and environmental degradation. At first, the change caused depression: Elderly residents struggled to memorize the sorting rules, while busy parents complained about the time-consuming process. However, through consistent public campaigns — including workshops, neighborhood clean-up drives, and school programs — the town gradually developed a culture of responsibility. Today, their 80% recycling rate, one of the highest globally, stands as a witness to collective effort ; what once felt like a burden has become a point of local pride. Beyond waste sorting, Kamikatsu has innovated further with its “zero waste shop”, where residents donate unwanted goods — furniture, books, even half-used bottles of shampoo — and others pick them up free of charge. This initiative not only cuts down on waste but also strengthens social bonds, turning strangers into neighbors united by a shared mission. Children, raised on lessons about reducing consumption and reusing resources, now teach their parents tricks for creative recycling, creating a cycle of intergenerational learning. Kamikatsu’s story proves that sustainability isn’t merely an ambitious promise but an achievable reality through small, consistent actions. By transforming waste into good use and unwillingness into full engagement, this tiny town offers a powerful lesson — when a community comes together with purpose, even the most demanding environmental challenges can be turned into opportunities for growth and joy. 8. What can be inferred about Kamikatsu in paragraph 1? A. Its success relies on advanced technology. B. Its citizens block zero-waste policy. C. Its waste is casually burned in incinerators. D. Its policy needs citizens’ full support. 9. What is residents’ initial reaction to the zero-waste policy? A. Mild nervousness. B. Certain resistance. C. Absolute willingness. D. Complete satisfaction. 10. What is the key social impact of Kamikatsu’s zero waste shop? A. It reduces the town’s carbon footprint. B. It allows kids a sense of achievement. C. It builds up community relationship. D. It enhances children’s school grades. 11. What is the best title for the text? A Kamikatsu: A zero-waste Model B. Garbage sorting: A Global Trend C. The History of small-town Recycling D. The Advantages of zero-waste Lifestyle 【答案】8. D 9. B 10. C 11. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇新闻报道，文章主要介绍了日本上胜町在可持续发展方面所做出的努力和取得的成就。 【8题详解】 推理判断题。根据第一段中“In the small city of Kamikatsu, Japan, a remarkable experiment in sustainability is unfolding.(在日本小城市上胜町，一项引人注目的可持续发展实验正在展开)”和“Based on the newly carried-out zero-waste policy, every household is expected to sort garbage into 45 categories, from waste paper and metal cans to worn-out socks and wooden chopsticks, each requiring careful separation before being delivered to the local recycling center.(根据新实施的零废弃政策，每户家庭都需要将垃圾分成45类，从废纸和金属罐到破旧的袜子和木筷子，每一类都需要在送到当地的回收中心之前进行仔细的分类)”可知，上胜町的零废弃政策需要居民们对垃圾进行非常细致的分类，所以它需要居民们的全力支持和配合。故选D项。 【9题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段中“At first, the change caused depression: Elderly residents struggled to memorize the sorting rules, while busy parents complained about the time-consuming process.(起初，这种变化引起了沮丧：老年居民努力记住分类规则，而忙碌的父母则抱怨这个过程太耗时)”可知，居民们最初对零废弃政策的反应是存在一定的抵触情绪，觉得这是一个负担。故选B项。 【10题详解】 细节理解题。根据第三段中“This initiative not only cuts down on waste but also strengthens social bonds, turning strangers into neighbors united by a shared mission.(这一举措不仅减少了浪费，还加强了社会联系，把陌生人变成了有着共同使命的邻居)”可知，上胜町的零废弃商店加强了社区联系，故选C项。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。通读全文，特别是根据第一段“In the small city of Kamikatsu, Japan, a remarkable experiment in sustainability is unfolding. Unlike most urban areas where waste casually ends in landfills or is burned in incinerators (焚化炉), this town of 1,500 residents has made an ambitious promise — to become a zero-waste community by 2025 — a goal they’ve nearly achieved through constant commitment.(在日本上胜町这座小城，一场引人注目的可持续发展实验正在展开。与大多数城市地区不同，那里的垃圾随意进入垃圾填埋场或在焚化炉中焚烧，这个拥有1500名居民的小镇做出了一个雄心勃勃的承诺——到2025年成为一个零废弃社区——他们通过不断的努力几乎实现了这一目标)”可知，文章主要介绍了日本上胜町在可持续发展方面所做出的努力和取得的成就，成为了一个近乎零废弃的社区，故选A项“Kamikatsu: A zero-waste Model(上胜町：零废弃的典范)”最符合文章主旨，是最佳标题。故选A项。 D A shared meal, a kiss on the cheek: these social acts bring people together — and bring their microbes (微生物) together, too. The more individuals interact with one another, the more similar the make-up of their gut (肠道) microbes is, even if individuals don’t live in the same household, a study shows. Several publications have suggested that social interactions shape the gut microbiome. To add to this emerging literature, social scientist Nicholas Christakis and his colleagues travelled to the jungles of Honduras and conducted their research. They mapped the social relationships and analyzed the microbiomes of people living in 18 isolated villages, where interactions are mainly face-to-face and people have minimal exposure to processed foods and antibiotics, which can alter the composition of the microbiome. Individuals living in the same house share up to 13.9% of gut strains, while even people who don’t share a roof but habitually spend free time together share 10%, the researchers found. By contrast, those in the same village but not spending time together share only 4%. There’s also evidence that friends of friends share more strains than would be expected by chance. The results add depth to scientists’ understanding of what shapes the microbiome, says microbiologist Mireia, who was not involved in the work. Social contacts might share the same microbial species by chance, but they’re much less likely to share the same strains, which are subspecies of microbes, unless they’ve passed them to each other. Research like this “is changing completely the way we think”. It suggests that risk factors for conditions with links to the microbiome, such as hypertension and depression, could spread from person to person through their microbiomes, says biologist Nicola Segata at the University of Trento. However, people should not avoid social interactions for fear of “catching” others’ microbiomes. Social interactions can spread components of healthy microbiomes and have multiple other benefits. 12. What does the study mainly find? A. Kissing harms human relations. B. Social acts influence eating habits. C. Family gathering benefits gut microbes. D. Social contacts affect gut microbes. 13. Why was the research conducted in the jungles of Honduras? A. To study the unique gut microbes there. B. To evaluate the impacts of new antibiotics. C. To explore the make-up of gut microbiome. D. To minimize the effects of interfering factors. 14. What can we know about the research results? A. They ignore the sharing of gut microbes. B. They focus on household microbes mainly. C. They reveal the transmission of gut microbes. D. They challenge the results of previous studies. 15. What might be the author’s attitude toward social interactions? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 【答案】12. D 13. D 14. C 15. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文。主要介绍了一项研究发现：人们的社交互动会影响肠道微生物的组成，接触越频繁的人肠道微生物越相似。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中“The more individuals interact with one another, the more similar the make-up of their gut (肠道) microbes is, even if individuals don’t live in the same household, a study shows. (一项研究表明，个体之间互动越多，他们的肠道微生物的构成就越相似，即使个体并不生活在同一个家庭中。)”以及第二段中“Several publications have suggested that social interactions shape the gut microbiome. (有几篇出版物表明，社交互动会影响肠道微生物群。)”可知，这项研究主要发现社交接触会影响肠道微生物。故选D项。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段中“To add to this emerging literature, social scientist Nicholas Christakis and his colleagues travelled to the jungles of Honduras and conducted their research. They mapped the social relationships and analyzed the microbiomes of people living in 18 isolated villages, where interactions are mainly face-to-face and people have minimal exposure to processed foods and antibiotics, which can alter the composition of the microbiome. (为了丰富这一新兴文献，社会科学家Nicholas Christakis和他的同事前往洪都拉斯的丛林进行研究。他们绘制了生活在18个孤立村庄的人们的社交关系图，并分析了他们的微生物群。在这些村庄里，人们的互动主要是面对面的，很少接触会改变微生物群的组成的加工食品和抗生素。)”可知，在洪都拉斯丛林进行研究是为了尽量减少干扰因素的影响，如加工食品和抗生素等。故选D项。 【14题详解】 推理判断题。根据第三段中“Individuals living in the same house share up to 13.9% of gut strains, while even people who don’t share a roof but habitually spend free time together share 10%, the researchers found. By contrast, those in the same village but not spending time together share only 4%. There’s also evidence that friends of friends share more strains than would be expected by chance. (研究人员发现，住在同一所房子里的人共享高达13.9%的肠道菌株，而即使不住在同一所房子里但经常一起度过空闲时间的人也共享10%。相比之下，住在同一个村庄但不在一起的人只共享4%。还有证据表明，朋友的朋友比偶然预期的共享更多菌株。)”可知，研究结果揭示了肠道微生物的传播情况。故选C项。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段中“However, people should not avoid social interactions for fear of “catching” others’ microbiomes. Social interactions can spread components of healthy microbiomes and have multiple other benefits.（然而，人们不应该因为害怕“感染”他人的微生物群而避免社交互动。社交互动可以传播健康微生物群的成分，并带来多种其他益处。）”可知，虽然某些与微生物相关的健康风险可能通过社交传播，但社交互动也能传播健康微生物并带来其他益处，这表明作者对社交互动持客观的态度。故选A项。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever told a goldfish about your day? Complained to a dog about your brother or sister? Maybe you’ve held a cat and told him your favorite bedtime story. Many animals are great listeners. ____16____ It may come as no surprise that many animals have a strong sense of hearing. In fact, several can hear a wider range of frequencies (频率) than humans can. Cats, for example, hear noises between 45 and 64.000 hertz (Hz). Humans are limited to sounds between 64 and 23,000 Hz. Other common pets, like rabbits, also have wider ranges of hearing than people. ____17____ They can only sense noises between 20 and 3,000 Hz. Many other animals can hear an impressive range of sounds. For example, elephants can sense extremely low frequencies, all the way down to 16 Hz. ____18____ However, none of these animals have the best hearing. That award actually goes to an insect. The moth (蛾) can hear the widest range of frequencies, going up to 300,000 Hz. Researchers think the moth’s sharp sense of hearing may have developed to help it escape from its most common enemy: the bat. ____19____ Their ears might appear to be a clear indication of their remarkable hearing abilities. However, animals don’t need bat-like ears to hear. In fact, some don’t have ears at all! These earless creatures do hear, but at a limited, low range of frequencies. ____20____ Just like humans, many animals are born without hearing or lose the ability after illness or injury. If you’ve ever known a dog or cat with hearing loss, you know they find other clever ways to communicate, just like people do. A. Of course, not all animals can hear. B. Bats’ good hearing helps them in hunting. C. But how well do they actually hear? D. Goldfish, however, have rather limited hearing. E. Have you wondered which animal has the best listening range? F. This allows elephants to hear the clouds moving through the air. G. After all, bats have some of the best ears among mammals (哺乳动物). 【答案】16. C 17. D 18. F 19. G 20. A 【解析】 【导语】本文是一篇说明文，主要介绍了不同动物的听力范围以及它们的听力能力。文章通过比较人类和动物的听力范围，进一步探讨了某些动物的听力能力如何帮助它们生存。 【16题详解】 根据上文“Many animals are great listeners.(许多动物都是很好的倾听者)”可知，这里提到动物是好的倾听者，接着需要进一步探讨它们听力的实际能力。C“但他们的听力有多好呢？”切题，且引起下文。故选C项。 【17题详解】 根据上文“Other common pets, like rabbits, also have wider ranges of hearing than people. (其他常见的宠物，如兔子，也比人类的听力范围更广。)”以及下文“They can only sense noises between 20 and 3,000 Hz.(它们只能感知20到3,000赫兹的声音。)”可知，选项与上文为转折关关系关系，说明某些动物的听力范围有限。D“然而，金鱼的听力相当有限”切题。故选D项。 【18题详解】 上文“For example, elephants can sense extremely low frequencies, all the way down to 16 Hz.(例如，大象可以感知极低的频率，低至16赫兹。)”说明大象可以感知极低的频率。F项“这使得大象能够听到云在空气中移动的声音”承接上文，进一步阐述大象可以感知的频率有多低，切题。故选F项。 【19题详解】 根据下文“Their ears might appear to be a clear indication of their remarkable hearing abilities.(他们的耳朵似乎清楚地表明了他们非凡的听力能力)”可知，选项承接上文说的是蝙蝠的耳朵。故G选项“毕竟，蝙蝠的耳朵是哺乳动物中最好的”切题。故选G项。 20题详解】 根据下文“Just like humans, many animals are born without hearing or lose the ability after illness or injury.(就像人类一样，许多动物天生没有听力，或者在生病或受伤后失去听力)”可推知，并非所有动物都能听到声音。A选项“当然，并非所有动物都能听到”引起下文。故选A项。 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One routine morning, I cleaned my fish tank, amazed at how much water had managed to evaporate (蒸发) in one week. Bryan and I decided to go to the pet store to get more fish. While waiting for busy clerks, we wandered to the bird area. Suddenly, something ____21____ happened: a small green bird in a full cage flew to the bars near us. To our surprise, it ____22____ us as we walked around the cage. When I gently reached toward it, instead of flying away like others, the bird ____23____ its head, silently asking for kindness. My heart melted, and I ____24____ to take it home immediately. We named him Indy. Remarkably, he became deeply ____25____ to us within hours. We let him outside where he ____26____ joyfully with fallen leaves, chasing small sticks across the ____27____ for two hours. Later, while I was showering inside, Bryan ____28____ called me outside. There lay Indy in his hand, body completely ____29____, unable to lift his head. Closer look showed a sad ____30____: Indy lacked the bottom half of his beak. Of course we did not notice this at the pet store. The little bird likely hadn’t eaten for days. We tried to offer him some soft food, but it just ____31____ right. Holding back tears, we sat on the bed, ____32____ touching his feathers. Then came a deep moment: Indy suddenly raised his head, ____33____ his wings fully like a bird taking flight, and quietly died. That night, I thought about life’s meaning. Perhaps Indy’s short life wasn’t about teaching me, but about finding love in his final moments — to leave ____34____ in caring hands, not left alone in a cold cage.

The rocket competition would begin shortly. He had never lost a contest, but that didn’t calm him. Being on top counted, and he pushed himself to remain there. The other kids, however, rarely came over to him. No way was he going to let them ignore that he’d win again. Still, he often wondered: why didn’t winning make people like him better? He opened his toolbox and began assembling (组装) his launch pad. Then he checked his rocket again. It looked perfect — especially compared to the others. But one caught his eye. A thin boy named Ed lifted it carefully. Its paint shone in the sunlight, and its parts fit perfectly. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. “Nice rocket” said the boy nervously. “Thanks,” Tom replied flatly, and then regretted it. “Where do you usually launch it? I’ve never seen you here.” “In the field behind my house.” “You don’t care for these contests?” “I never really thought about them. I keep pretty much to myself.” The announcer explained the competition. Tom barely listened, his gaze constantly drifting to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap — as Ed lifted the rocket to place it on the launch pad, his fin (翼) had caught against something, pulling it away from the fuselage (机身) — not enough to break it off, just enough to loosen it. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up. Tom felt a surge of guilt but decided he wasn’t going to say anything. Anyway, it was up to Ed to keep checking his rocket. Then the competition began. Most rockets gained respectable heights, while a few shot wildly. Tom watched, but the knowledge he had about what was wrong with their rockets soured within him. It was like something he had stolen. “Ed Malovich will be our next contestant,” the announcer said, interrupting Tom’s daydream. Immediately Ed lifted his rocket and headed to the launch area. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Without thinking, words flowed from Tom’s mouth, surprising even himself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Minutes later, Ed’s rocket blasted (轰鸣) skyward, shooting up as if unstoppable. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Without thinking, words flowed from Tom’s mouth, surprising even himself. “Ed, hold on — your fin’s loose!” The cry tore through the air. Ed froze, his smile vanishing as he carefully examined the wing. A gasp rippled through the crowd. Tom was already moving, toolbox in hand. Dropping to his knees beside Ed, he pulled out instant glue. “Here — press it tight!” he instructed, squeezing the tube until his knuckles turned white. Their heads bent close together as Ed held the fin firmly. “Why?” Ed whispered, voice thick with emotion. Tom met his eyes, sunlight warming his shoulders. “Some things,” he said softly, “are more important than winning.” Minutes later, Ed’s rocket blasted skyward, shooting up as if unstoppable. It pierced the blue like a silver arrow, soaring higher than any other, its parachute blooming like a crimson flower against the clouds. The crowd erupted as Ed leapt up, tears sparkling in his eyes. When Tom’s turn came, his rocket flew true but landed just short of Ed’s mark. Third place was announced, yet Tom’s heart felt strangely full. He found Ed grinning at him through the crowd. “You made this possible,” Ed said, pulling Tom into a quick, fierce hug. As other competitors gathered around them, laughter and cheers filling the air, Tom finally understood — this warmth, this connection, was the victory he’d always missed. Tom realized winning had never felt this good. It wasn’t about being on the top — it was about lifting someone else up. And maybe, just maybe, that was the victory that counted most. 【解析】 【导语】本文以火箭比赛为线索展开，讲述了汤姆在火箭比赛中发现对手埃德的火箭存在缺陷，最终选择告知并帮助他修理，虽然自己只获得第三名，却领悟到真正的胜利不在于赢得比赛，而在于帮助他人并建立真挚友谊的故事。 【详解】1. 段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“汤姆不假思索，话从他嘴里脱口而出，连他自己都感到惊讶。”可知，第一段可描写汤姆指出埃德火箭的问题并帮助他修理的经过。 ②由第二段首句内容“几分钟后，埃德的火箭轰鸣着冲向天空，仿佛势不可挡。”可知，第二段可描写埃德的火箭成功发射，汤姆获得第三名却感到内心满足，最终领悟到真正的胜利是帮助他人。 2. 续写线索：指出问题——帮助修理——成功发射——获得第三名——内心满足——领悟真理 3. 词汇激活 行为类 ① 划破空气：tore through the air /cut through the air ② 检查机翼：examined the wing /checked the wing ③ 紧紧握住机翼：held the fin firmly /clutched the fin tightly ④ 跳起：leapt up /jumped up 情绪类 ①笑： grin at/smile widely at ②满足：heart felt strangely full/be content/feel satisfied 【点睛】【高分句型1】Ed froze, his smile vanishing as he carefully examined the wing.（运用了独立主格结构和as引导的时间状语从句） 【高分句型2】Ed whispered, voice thick with emotion.（运用了独立主格结构） 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $ 2025-2026学年度高三上学期期初检测试卷 英语 (试卷满分：150分，考试时间：120分钟) 注意事项： 1. 答卷前，考生务必将自己的姓名、考生号等填写在答题卡上。 2. 回答选择题时，选出每小题答案后，用铅笔把答题卡上对应题目的答案标号涂黑。如需改动，用橡皮擦干净后，再选涂其他答案标号。回答非选择题时，将答案写在答题卡上。写在本试卷上无效。 3. 考试结束后，将本试卷和答题卡一并交回。 第一部分 听力 (共两节，满分30分) 做题时，先将答案标在试卷上。录音内容结束后，你将有两分钟的时间将试卷上的答案转涂到答题卡上。 第一节 (共5小题;每小题1.5分，满分7.5分) 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳选项。听完每段对话后，你都有10秒钟的时间来回答有关小题和阅读下一小题。每段对话仅读一遍。 1 What kind of tea does the woman drink today?

This year, our Youth Services team brought a classic game to life with a scavenger hunt (寻宝游戏) program. This Scavenger Hunt: Level Up Your Reading event connects directly to our Summer Reading Program’s theme: Level Up! Our goal is to create an experience that is both fun and accessible. We design it to include opportunities for exploration and discovery. We created a self-paced, interactive program activity that encourages kids to navigate our library space and learn more about what we offer. It is available throughout the entire month of June, giving families enough time to join the fun on their own schedule. We offer two distinct levels to better serve a wide age range: Level 1 (Preschool-Grade 2) : Younger children search for amusing game characters in the Youth Services Department. This level uses colorful markers to stimulate curiosity without requiring reading skills. Characters are hidden near collections like Playaways and Binge Boxes, helping kids and caregivers discover new areas. Level 2 (Grades 3-6) : Older children participate in a more advanced version of the scavenger hunt. They not only. locate each character but also answer a challenge question at every stop. These questions help introduce them to different library collections like world languages, nonfiction, and graphic novels. This promotes deeper engagement and informal learning. The scavenger hunt helps families explore more of what the library has to offer. Kids and caregivers turn it into a shared experience filled with curiosity and conversation. 1. What is the main purpose of the scavenger hunt? A. To promote summer reading. B. To raise funds for the library. C. To emphasize service sense. D. To organize competitive games. 2. Which of the following best describes the library’s approach to the scavenger hunt? A. Competitive and challenging. B. Teacher-led and structured. C Self-guided and family-friendly. D. Technology-driven and entertaining. 3. What distinguishes Level 2 from Level 1? A. The task of finding characters. B. The focus on formal learning. C. The involvement of caregivers. D. The demand for reading abilities. B Turning thirty, a milestone that feels like the start for a career, the prime of a lion, and the peak for a dancer. Thirty is a number that I’ve been anticipating, yet it’s a label I was afraid to embrace. Thirty is supposed to be my teacher’s age, but now it’s mine, and with it comes everything it signifies. A few days ago, a colleague tried to comfort me by saying,“Thirty is what twenty used to be.” He made a thought-provoking (发人深省的) point. Am I still on the summit? People keep telling me the highest point has just been shifted, and I keep telling them that the climbing wall has dropped from the ten feet I once scaled with ease to the eight feet that now seem insurmountable (不可逾越的). “You are not growing older, you are growing wiser,” says a wise old friend. This, however, is the kind of wisdom that makes one seek a different perspective. And so as I approach the day when I can no longer leap over the barriers with the same energy, I consider it necessary to share some thoughts on maturity with you. I am driven to express how maturity feels to me, both physically and mentally. Growing older, is a mixture of flexibility and acceptance and a process that requires both fighting against the unavoidable and embracing the changes that come. In fact, a philosopher considered it the most enlightening transition of all: Embrace maturity with me! The best is yet to be. Whether or not he was right, most of my first thirty years have been enlightening ones, so I will settle for what lies ahead being as fulfilling as what has passed. I find myself moving toward the future with a curious mix of both challenging and embracing my maturity, hoping that the poet was right when he said, “youth is always fifteen years behind us.” 4. What does the author imply in the first paragraph? A. Time flies quickly. B. Only time will tell. C. Time heal s all wounds. D. Aging is a harsh reality. 5. What does the phrase “on the summit” in Paragraph 2 probably mean? A. Being on one’s peak. B. Experiencing a decline. C. Reaching the top post. D. Facing a turning point. 6. What can we learn from the author’s reflection on maturity? A. Maturity is a contradictory but natural process. B. There is a clear decline in mental abilities. C. It is necessary to fight against maturity. D. It means forgetting about our past. 7. How does the author feel about the future life? A. Peaceful. B. Promising. C. Upset. D. Regretful. C In the small city of Kamikatsu, Japan, a remarkable experiment in sustainability is unfolding. Unlike most urban areas where waste casually ends in landfills or is burned in incinerators (焚化炉), this town of 1,500 residents has made an ambitious promise — to become a zero-waste community by 2025 — a goal they’ve nearly achieved through constant commitment. Based on the newly carried-out zero-waste policy, every household is expected to sort garbage into 45 categories, from waste paper and metal cans to worn-out socks and wooden chopsticks, each requiring careful separation before being delivered to the local recycling center. such precision ensures that even seemingly useless items, like tea leaves, find new life as compost (堆肥) for community gardens. The journey began in 2003 when Kamikatsu shut down its incinerator, a decision driven by growing concerns over air pollution and environmental degradation. At first, the change caused depression: Elderly residents struggled to memorize the sorting rules, while busy parents complained about the time-consuming process. However, through consistent public campaigns — including workshops, neighborhood clean-up drives, and school programs — the town gradually developed a culture of responsibility. Today, their 80% recycling rate, one of the highest globally, stands as a witness to collective effort ; what once felt like a burden has become a point of local pride. Beyond waste sorting, Kamikatsu has innovated further with its “zero waste shop”, where residents donate unwanted goods — furniture, books, even half-used bottles of shampoo — and others pick them up free of charge. This initiative not only cuts down on waste but also strengthens social bonds, turning strangers into neighbors united by a shared mission. Children, raised on lessons about reducing consumption and reusing resources, now teach their parents tricks for creative recycling, creating a cycle of intergenerational learning. Kamikatsu’s story proves that sustainability isn’t merely an ambitious promise but an achievable reality through small, consistent actions. By transforming waste into good use and unwillingness into full engagement, this tiny town offers a powerful lesson — when a community comes together with purpose, even the most demanding environmental challenges can be turned into opportunities for growth and joy. 8.

The Advantages of zero-waste Lifestyle D A shared meal, a kiss on the cheek: these social acts bring people together — and bring their microbes (微生物) together, too. The more individuals interact with one another, the more similar the make-up of their gut (肠道) microbes is, even if individuals don’t live in the same household, a study shows. Several publications have suggested that social interactions shape the gut microbiome. To add to this emerging literature, social scientist Nicholas Christakis and his colleagues travelled to the jungles of Honduras and conducted their research. They mapped the social relationships and analyzed the microbiomes of people living in 18 isolated villages, where interactions are mainly face-to-face and people have minimal exposure to processed foods and antibiotics, which can alter the composition of the microbiome. Individuals living in the same house share up to 13.9% of gut strains, while even people who don’t share a roof but habitually spend free time together share 10%, the researchers found. By contrast, those in the same village but not spending time together share only 4%. There’s also evidence that friends of friends share more strains than would be expected by chance. The results add depth to scientists’ understanding of what shapes the microbiome, says microbiologist Mireia, who was not involved in the work. Social contacts might share the same microbial species by chance, but they’re much less likely to share the same strains, which are subspecies of microbes, unless they’ve passed them to each other. Research like this “is changing completely the way we think”. It suggests that risk factors for conditions with links to the microbiome, such as hypertension and depression, could spread from person to person through their microbiomes, says biologist Nicola Segata at the University of Trento. However, people should not avoid social interactions for fear of “catching” others’ microbiomes. Social interactions can spread components of healthy microbiomes and have multiple other benefits. 12. What does the study mainly find? A. Kissing harms human relations. B. Social acts influence eating habits. C. Family gathering benefits gut microbes. D. Social contacts affect gut microbes. 13. Why was the research conducted in the jungles of Honduras? A. To study the unique gut microbes there. B. To evaluate the impacts of new antibiotics. C. To explore the make-up of gut microbiome. D. To minimize the effects of interfering factors. 14. What can we know about the research results? A. They ignore the sharing of gut microbes. B. They focus on household microbes mainly. C. They reveal the transmission of gut microbes. D. They challenge the results of previous studies. 15. What might be the author’s attitude toward social interactions? A. Objective. B. Indifferent. C. Unclear. D. Approving. 第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Have you ever told a goldfish about your day? Complained to a dog about your brother or sister? Maybe you’ve held a cat and told him your favorite bedtime story. Many animals are great listeners. ____16____ It may come as no surprise that many animals have a strong sense of hearing. In fact, several can hear a wider range of frequencies (频率) than humans can. Cats, for example, hear noises between 45 and 64.000 hertz (Hz). Humans are limited to sounds between 64 and 23,000 Hz. Other common pets, like rabbits, also have wider ranges of hearing than people. ____17____ They can only sense noises between 20 and 3,000 Hz. Many other animals can hear an impressive range of sounds. For example, elephants can sense extremely low frequencies, all the way down to 16 Hz. ____18____ However, none of these animals have the best hearing. That award actually goes to an insect. The moth (蛾) can hear the widest range of frequencies, going up to 300,000 Hz. Researchers think the moth’s sharp sense of hearing may have developed to help it escape from its most common enemy: the bat. ____19____ Their ears might appear to be a clear indication of their remarkable hearing abilities. However, animals don’t need bat-like ears to hear. In fact, some don’t have ears at all! These earless creatures do hear, but at a limited, low range of frequencies. ____20____ Just like humans, many animals are born without hearing or lose the ability after illness or injury. If you’ve ever known a dog or cat with hearing loss, you know they find other clever ways to communicate, just like people do. A. Of course, not all animals can hear. B. Bats’ good hearing helps them in hunting. C. But how well do they actually hear? D. Goldfish, however, have rather limited hearing. E. Have you wondered which animal has the best listening range? F. This allows elephants to hear the clouds moving through the air. G. After all, bats have some of the best ears among mammals (哺乳动物). 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。 One routine morning, I cleaned my fish tank, amazed at how much water had managed to evaporate (蒸发) in one week. Bryan and I decided to go to the pet store to get more fish. While waiting for busy clerks, we wandered to the bird area.

Holding back tears, we sat on the bed, ____32____ touching his feathers. Then came a deep moment: Indy suddenly raised his head, ____33____ his wings fully like a bird taking flight, and quietly died. That night, I thought about life’s meaning. Perhaps Indy’s short life wasn’t about teaching me, but about finding love in his final moments — to leave ____34____ in caring hands, not left alone in a cold cage.

The rocket competition would begin shortly. He had never lost a contest, but that didn’t calm him. Being on top counted, and he pushed himself to remain there. The other kids, however, rarely came over to him. No way was he going to let them ignore that he’d win again. Still, he often wondered: why didn’t winning make people like him better? He opened his toolbox and began assembling (组装) his launch pad. Then he checked his rocket again. It looked perfect — especially compared to the others. But one caught his eye. A thin boy named Ed lifted it carefully. Its paint shone in the sunlight, and its parts fit perfectly. His critical eye detected that this rocket could beat his. “Nice rocket,” said the boy nervously. “Thanks,” Tom replied flatly, and then regretted it. “Where do you usually launch it? I’ve never seen you here.” “In the field behind my house.” “You don’t care for these contests?” “I never really thought about them. I keep pretty much to myself.” The announcer explained the competition. Tom barely listened, his gaze constantly drifting to Ed’s rocket. Suddenly his heart did a leap — as Ed lifted the rocket to place it on the launch pad, his fin (翼) had caught against something, pulling it away from the fuselage (机身) — not enough to break it off, just enough to loosen it. But Ed hadn’t noticed. He glanced back at Tom and gave a thumbs-up. Tom felt a surge of guilt but decided he wasn’t going to say anything. Anyway, it was up to Ed to keep checking his rocket. Then the competition began. Most rockets gained respectable heights, while a few shot wildly. Tom watched, but the knowledge he had about what was wrong with their rockets soured within him. It was like something he had stolen. “Ed Malovich will be our next contestant,” the announcer said, interrupting Tom’s daydream. Immediately Ed lifted his rocket and headed to the launch area. 注意： (1)续写词数应为150左右； (2)请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Paragraph 1: Without thinking, words flowed from Tom’s mouth, surprising even himself. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Minutes later, Ed’s rocket blasted (轰鸣) skyward, shooting up as if unstoppable. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
